Simon Says...Red/White and/or Blue...

The first challenge of a new month and the Design Team are showcasing some fabulous Sizzix Products. Sizzix make a huge range of products, Die Cutting Machines, Dies, Embossing Folders and so much more...you don't have to use Sizzix products to join in the challenge but if you have them we would love to see what you create with them.

And we have a new Guest Designer for the month of July...the lovely and very talented Beulah Beeis returning to the Designer Spotlight to share more of her fabulous projects with us.

The theme this week is...

RED WHITE and/or BLUE

and I decided to decorate a chipboard panel to send some Love Across The Miles to all my American crafty friends who will be celebrating Independence Day tomorrow...

I applied a wash of Faded Jeans Distress Oxide to Distress Watercolor card using a baby wipe and then used the Mini Layering stencil from Set 11 to create stripes.

You can find all the products I used over at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp online store...just click on the links below...

Fabulous! I love all the stages you took to mak this fantastic bakground, love the idea of making a stencil from te globe die as well. The stamps with London are so genius! Love your project a lot! Hugs, Macarena

I adore the combination of the London and the US and love how you've used the globe as a stencil, that is such a clever idea and works so well to create depth on the background of this fun project! Fab work as always, Kath... Hugs xxx

What a fabulous panel, Kath! Love the London with US theme! So much layers, love the globe used as a stencil. Just came back from a little London trip, and I adore that city, so much history and such a great atmosphere! Hugs, Sandra
